The Design Team

The following four design members will be working together, using each others' strengths and weaknesses, and communicating effectively to reverse engineer the Nerf N-Strike Longstrike CS-6. The engineers working on this design team are:

The Product

The Nerf N-Strike Longstrike CS-6 has taken a traditional nerf gun and transformed it into a three foot long, thirty-five foot long range, firing nerf machine. To discover the inner workings behind this variant design is the goal of the design team's work. "So grab your gear, steel your nerves, and prepare to 'go long!' "[1]

The Product Proposal

The Nerf N-Strike Longstrike CS-6 was the right product for the design team. Each member has the right skills to work together to reverse engineer this product, as well as learn about factors that influenced the design. The mechanical components, the complex concerns behind the design, and the finances all form an important role in this project. All of this, the design team has chosen to figure out about the Nerf N-Strike Longstrike CS-6.

Gate 1: Project Planning

To reverse engineer the Nerf N-Strike Longstrike CS-6 is a time consuming task, that involves many parts and an extreme attention to details. Therefore the design team outlined the entire extent of their project with a time table as well as researched an initial assessment of the Nerf N-Strike Longstrike CS-6. This was done by the team as a whole in order to ensure completion of the entire project on time as well as to the best of their abilities. This was done to ensure a fully functioning and communicating design team.

Gate 2: Product Dissection

The next step completed by this design team in their reverse engineer project was to fully dissect the Nerf N-Strike Longstrike CS-6. This process included the exact procedure taken by the team as well as an analysis of the connection between subsystems found. A brief review of the design team's functionality was also included.

Gate 3: Product Analysis

After dissecting the Nerf Longstrike CS-6 and documenting the process, a thorough engineering analysis was completed for the product. Components were classified and analyzed in order to fully understand the functioning of the Nerf gun.
